Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of test-pits in advance of the construction of a sewer pipeline. Previous desk-based assessment had identified a broad but scattered archaeological resource in the general environs of the pipeline corridor, which included Bronze Age artefacts, Roman activity and early medieval activity. Eleven sites relating to the post-medieval agricultural landscape had been identified during field survey. The test-pits were located by geotechnical requirements, and consequently none of the areas of archaeological potential identified during the assessment were examined. No significant archaeological material was discovered during the watching brief, although small lenses of peat were observed in two of the test-pits. These were not suitable for palaeoenvironmental analysis. It was recommended that further evaluation of the pipeline corridor would not be necessary, but that it would be advantageous to undertake a watching brief during topsoil stripping. [Au(abr)]
